#erosblog — Public Fediverse posts

At the top of any ErosBlog page you'll see a big pair of dice. Click them to see a random article from the EB database (7,000+ posts since 2002). I freely admit there's a lot of forgettable stuff in the #ErosBlog archives, but usually when I start clicking the dice it only takes two or three clicks before I find something interesting that I'm proud to have posted.

The other day someone (who may or may not be the persistent MAGA troll who's been trying and failing to flood my ErosBlog comments with anti-LGBTQ nonsense every few weeks since the election) hit me with the weakest burn I can imagine:

"So this is all you’ve been doing for 20 over years now? Posting porno on this “blog” pretty much every day?"

I'm fuckin' PROUD to have kept a website going strong and active for 23 years. Show me yours before you sneer, honey!

Make hay while the sun shines, they used to say. Me? I'm gonna post porn while I still can.

Thanks to a hallucinating LLM and a SUPERB suggestion from @amy, ErosBlog has a new tagline and subtitle for the first time since 2006. By the powers vested in me and because I said so, Erosblog is now, officially, "the sex blog of record." Carry on...

On a whim, I set a smol pornocalypse test for Google's Gemini AI chatbot. I asked it for summaries of the content at a pair of decades-old blogs: ErosBlog and BoingBoing. It returned a very nice summary of BoingBoing, but went all "Sorry, Dave, I can't..." on me about ErosBlog.

"As a language model, I’m not able to assist you with that."

Sure, Jan...

If Etsy acquires, gets acquired by, or merges with eBay or Amazon or Alibaba or Temu in the next six months, I called it yesterday, based on my theory that when a platform rolls out new pornocalypse policies, it usually indicates a financial inflection point like a merger or acquisition.

Here's yesterday's ErosBlog post on the upcoming Etsy pornocalypse:

I have been nattering about it this morning, so how about a repost?

Hey, look at that. A few days after finally getting secure browsing (https instead of http) set up for ErosBlog so that the scary red browser warnings and cockblocks would go away, we're back at the top of Google for "sex blog" searches. It's been a LONG time since I've seen that!

I was just reminded that on the occasion of ErosBlog's 20th anniversary a couple of years ago, I created an enormous time-lapse gif with one snapshot of the blog's front page per year. I "wasted" so much time on that! But, like the rest of this enterprise, I had fun doing it.

One of the most joyous things I've ever posted on ErosBlog is this machinima music video starring World of Warcraft characters singing and performing the song "The Internet Is for Porn" from the musical comedy Avenue Q:

What kind of stuff was I posting on #ErosBlog twenty years ago? On a whim, I went back and paged through the February 2004 posts. They're pretty fluffy, for the most part, but I found half a dozen posts still worth mentioning. I think I'll do a little thread.

I don't offer spectacular Patreon rewards, because I've always viewed the ErosBlog Patreon as a way for people to support and encourage the work. I think that's the correct view given that most patrons never try to collect the tangible rewards I do offer.

Meanwhile I don't think too hard about how my Patreon support has been stable for years at a less-than-$200-a-month level. Dwelling on that would tempt me to STOP, and I still don't wanna.

I didn't put a WHOLE lot of thought into blogging under the "Bacchus" pseudonym when I started ErosBlog back in 2002, but ever since that day I haven't been able to resist posting any kind of Bacchanalian or Dionysian themed erotic art, especially when it features my beloved satyrs and fauns.

A few days ago when @girlonthenet invited sex bloggers to share their favorite post of 2023 it reminded me that I didn't do any sort of blog retrospective post for 2023. I'm a couple of days late, but things finally calmed down enough for me to do one now. Please enjoy!

Hey, everybody. I just got the unwelcome word that my ErosBlog server bill is going up. I am a technical ignoramus so I pay for top-quality adult-friendly managed hosting that just works. It's not a catastrophic price increase but this is a good time to mention my Patreon. Even the smallest pledge is helpful! https://www.patreon.com/ErosBlog
